I havent called BMW yet to discuss this issue. Calling them this morning though. Im also going to TRY and get one from a wrecked E60 that our collision center has. Going to examine it to see how it comes apart to get to the reflectors. Keep ya posted.................... 
Haven't found one from the collision center yet. From what Im seeing this isnt going to be easily done with ALOT of money involved. After going out in the shop this morning and staring at one, the amber reflector that you are wanting to replace is part of the capsule that runs across and around the headlight section. Looking at anywhere from $500 and up each side to get the headlight, and that doesnt come with the xenon bulb OR control unit. Might have to wait and find some in a junk yard??????

$500 each is expensive...at least for me :'(. but thanks a lot for your effort . hope you'll bring us some good news later .
I dont think it would be worth that much just to have the amber reflector gone........

. oh, btw, i've noticed something from your posts and i'm not trying to be the smarta$$ here. but you just need to click on "reply" and you are quoting that person's post. if you want to quote multiple posts, just click on "quote" on every single post and hit "add reply". then you'll have one long post with multiple quotes in it .

You can change out the bulb which will give it a slightly less amber look but not much.? The sidemarkers are real easy to swap out as well.? Got rid of those amber guys.?

Hey Kigerka, so you took the amber section out? whats underneath? Do you have pics of what it looks like now? This means there has to be a part number for that small amber piece.
